Q: my fiancé who has been in my sons life sense before he was born signed the birth certificate and now i am hearing just cause his name is on it does not make him the father to my son i need to know if it does make him the father to my son. my fiancé did sign an acknowledgment of paternity.
A: Merely having one's name on the birth certificate isn't what matters - signing an acknowledgement of paternity is. In most instances, however, one's name appears on the birth certificate BECAUSE one has executed the acknowledgment of paternity. -- David Bliven, Westchester Family Law attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
